#2 Delhi break their duck

Satpal Narwal gave Delhi their first Super Tackle of this season

It was quite the astounding fact that Dabang Delhi were the only side in the competition yet to register a Super Tackle. They had played 14 games prior to tonight and hadn't managed a single Super Tackle, reinforcing why they lie at the bottom of the pile when it comes to defensive prowess amongst all teams this season.

However, the duck was broken in this encounter as they finally registered not one, but two Super Tackles. Both came from Satpal. Both came on Deepak Kumar Dahiya.

Those two tackles on back-to-back Haryana raids spooked Prashant Kumar Rai so much on the third raid that he decided to play it so safe as to not even venture close to the Delhi defence.

It was to prove a lone spark in the grand scheme of things though - they were already down 16 by then - as they suffered a resounding defeat at the hands of the Steelers.
